It’s Official: Hollywood Shares Responsibility
For Gun Violence In America

Odd, his pie chart is missing a big piece - fatherlessness!

I attended a fundraiser about 25 years ago and Michael Medved was the keynote speaker. He told the story of how, at some Hollywood industry convention, a producer stood up and proclaimed that his movie (one of the Lethal Weapon franchise) was likely responsible for saving lives because in ONE scene they made a point of clearly showing Danny Glover put on his seat belt. Medved stood up at that meeting and asked "How can one scene of someone putting on a seat belt be persuasive when Hollywood says that a thousand scenes of violence are NOT?". BTW, Maher left out video games. I know the data is not there to support it, but I cannot see how anything good comes from first shooter games. But, the real reason is even more basic. We tell kids these days that their lives are due only to chance and, by extension, the smart ones will extrapolate that to mean that their lives have no underlying meaning. Against that mindset no sustainable argument can be made for a true morality. At that point morality is just someone's opinion. Everyone has an opinion. What happens when some kid on the brink decides that, in his OPINION, it is OK to mow people down in a fit of rage?

Know which movies to see but really know the movies you don't want to support. Great time to cut them off. Last movie I saw was in 2009. Did I really miss anything?

Hollywood is responsible for most of the changes in our culture. They put violent sex including rape, violent murders including mass murder, and hate on the screen as entertainment. Why is porn so popular? Because it turns people on. Of course, watching violent men and now women kill others with impunity is a turn on for young men and women. Hollywood is now pushing nudity down our throats. Most actresses think they have to wear clothes that are either way too tight or way to skimpy to just go to the store. They are pushing the idea of wearing thongs to show off their butts at the pool or beach. Hollywood is as guilty as sin!!!

The gun homicide rate of non-black America is close to that of Scandinavian countries which are some of the most pacifist societies in the world. That fact doesn't seem to appear anywhere in these pie charts. Perhaps the breakdown of the Black family and community, 83% illegitimate births, welfare culture and loss of the work ethic, racial divisiveness and animosity promoted by politicians like 0bama and Holder has something to do with it?

Let’s shut hollywood down. If it only saves 100 childrens’ lives it would be worth it.

Ask any teacher - more than anything else, student success depends on the family from which they come.

There is no "gun violence". There is just violence.

Look at any movie poster and you will see a Hollywood Hypocrite pointing a gun at you.

Hollywood has big time responsibility for the emergence of all the firearms related murder and aggravated assault crimes, that are called “gun violence” a made up term not in the criminal laws by the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats, to politically shield from the Criminal Justice System most of the minority group ignorant and irresponsible perpetrators, who with their families and “communities” are Democrat supporters. If it were not for Hollywood with their violent films, the video industry and Internet with the violent video games, and the media that is compliant with Democrat politics, American young people living across America would even recognize and would not be idealizing violent criminal elements of society with a small fraction of usually mentally unstable individuals even playing out the violence through mass shootings that they see all the time in violent movies and video games. I grew up in a city that was the home to a number of historic firearms manufacturers. When I was in about the sixth grade in a public school, all the boys were taken on Thursday afternoon outings to one of the firearms manufacturers firearms ranges where we learned gun safety and how to operate and properly fire .22 caliber rifles of both pump and semi-automatic design. Nobody in those classes ever had any sort of accident while handling or shooting those firearms or ever got the idea to go out in public and shoot a number of innocent people. Those gun safety classes no longer take place there due to overriding liberal Democrat politics along with the fact that the firearms manufacturers have moved away to conservative States.

Hollyweird is starting to take note of their responsibility. Over 200 members of Tinseltown’s best and brightest have signed a pledge promising to portray guns in a responsible way onscreen. A batch of writers, actors, producers, and directors – including Jimmy Kimmel, Mark Ruffalo, and Amy Schumer – have endorsed an agreement titled #ShowYourSafety for Brady United. This would make an interesting plot line for "John Wick 4". The signatores for the pledge could go after the High Table organization to take away their weapons and make them non-violent starting with Wick.

Look no further than Alec Baldwin.

Anyone else think that Maher is beginning to look like Woody Allen?

Hollywood is a branch of the government.

DRUG DEALING!!! These shooters in cities are most likely defending or expanding their drug sales territories. They are organized with gang labels. but it is drug sales making a huge contribution to shooting deaths. Chicago is the best example.
